If you have database access to the server, you can change the username and display name quiet easily.

Log into your database using PHPmyadmin and click the database that is in use with WordPress.

Locate the wp_users table and find the username you do not want. You can use SQL for this also by type:

Select * from wp_users where user_login = "NAME YOU DO NOT WANT"

This will pull up a user record that you can then modify. You can change the user_login for the actually username being used but you will most likely want to change the display_name also as that is what is being displayed in the front end. Make sure to change the user_nicename also to make author URL's match the new username.
